Musculoskeletal synovial abnormalities and treatments

Volar inlay corticocancellous bone grafting is an accepted method of treatment for symptomatic nonunion of the carpal scaphoid. Performance of this procedure with a radial graft without styloidectomy yields results comparable to those obtained with iliac grafting. This permits the operation to be performed through a single incision. The elimination of the need for iliac dissection avoids morbidity associated with the iliac exposure.
